Syringes and a Gaming Center

My car had broken down and I walked quite a distance down to a business center.  When I got there I saw an older concrete type building.  I walked in and I saw a room with a lot of clutter that looked like it was left after someone had vacated the place.  I looked around and on one stand there was some small plastic syringe tems.  They were not syringes as they were not for needles but looked like they would hold water or something and go out a larger hole in the end.  Maybe it was to work on cars.  At any rate I took about four of them and put them in my pocket.  I did not know what I would use them for but it seemed to me they could be useful. 

I turned around to walk out and a 20 something guy was leaning against the arch of the doorway.  He asked me what I was doing.  I stuttered around and then finally told him I was just snooping around.  He seemed to accept that.  Later he told me that I should not have been so scared and stuttered around, that it would be better if I had just been more assertive with it.  I walked out with the fellow and could see that it seemed that a group of guys were hanging around and that it appeared they were just moving something in.   I hung around and wandered around and went inside of a concrete room that a half dozen or so guys were hanging out sitting on the floor.  I could see computers were set up in the room.  I later found out that this was a new business of gaming servers that were set up.  This was a smaller town and they had set up shop here. 

I hung out with the group of guys and talked and they seemed to accept me ok.  I felt a bit like an outsider but I was ok hanging out.  I needed to get a ride to contact my wife and eventually I asked a fellow for a ride.  I had taken off my shoes and was in my socks and I went back looking for my shoes and could not find them.  I thought I better get outside so I just went out in my socks.  I was waiting for the fellow to come out of one of several buildings or streets and was not sure which it would be.  I saw another fellow as I was inside that came in and asked what was going on and if he could play a game.  He started to open a door that was closed and I warned him not to.  When he got it partially open I could see a metal mesh on the other side of the door and knew this was where the servers were. 

Bleeding High

I was going to school at Bleeding High.  This was our first day.  We were in a large auditorium and were setting up our own folding metal chairs to sit in.   We had a seen a speaker on a stage that was in the front right corner so we had set up our chairs pointing toward that stage but found that was not right and had to face to the front of the building.  We changed our chairs again.  It seemed I was always the last to make the change as I felt that I was not quite thinking as fast as the others. 

Once we had our chairs in order and the noise had settled down as people settled into their chairs a guy behind me had placed his foot on my chair and was bothering me.  I asked him to please stop and turned back around.  Over the course of the morning this same fellow spent a great deal of time bothering me in one form or another.  At one point I threatened him that at the end of this day I would find him and do him harm. 

Our speaker came to the stage in front and began teaching us what "Bleeding" was about.  We were told our work was due when asked.  That we put in maximum effort and we don't go about causing headaches for the staff.  It wasn't long before a staff member began working their way down the rows handing each of us a shiny new straight razor.  I looked at mine as I flipped it open and could see reflections of the goings on around me in the bright metal. 

During the morning's speeches I was distracted by the guy behind me but not enough that I didn't pick up the very explicit idea that if we were to screw up our studies and especially if we were to cause problems for the staff that it not only was frowned upon but that there could actually and truly be blood spilled. 

We went to lunch by walking down a catering service's line.  The first selection was a large plate of meat which to me looked disgusting and I went further.  As I made my way down the line there was little I could eat as a vegetarian.  There were large sweet muffins toward the end and I grabbed one.  The rest of the line proved to be very meager pickings for me.  As I walked away the same boy that had been bothering me all day took my muffin.  I went to the staff to speak with them just as I had seen my bully do earlier when he was putting the blame on me.  As I told them what happened I could see the boy making his way out of the area and into another room.  Nothing ever came of this.

At the end of the day I was home and was studying with my two siblings one my sister to my left and another my brother to the right.  We had a lot of work to do this night.  There were 100 questions and all very difficult to answer.  As the night progressed I was complaining to my siblings that I was not having an easy time of it.  Also during this session I told my mother I may very well need the bi-focal glasses that I had turned down to this point.  I was laying on top of the table and various small discussions broke out with my sister and brother.  At one point the two of them discussed what would happen in the future with them.  My brother started to say he would be the smartest.  I told him that he wouldn't be that my sister would be extremely smart and that he would be amazing athletically.  I based my speculation about my brother on an incident where I had seen him under the water and he had decided to go fast and  he was not only that he was blisteringly quick. 

I was complaining periodically during our studies about the difficulty of a question or of the poor lighting or the many other items that were bothering me.  My sister always made a point of empathizing with me and it showed that my brother was lacking this ability on this day.  My sister at this time said see I do feel more for him maybe that is perhaps because I was made from his skin. 

After some time of studying my sister got up to leave and with her my brother.  I was in disbelief that they could stop for the day and expressed myself that I thought I would be there until the early morning hours.

Find a Way Out

I was locked in a room.  The room was probably 10 x 10 and had a metal door with a decent sized window.  No other windows or doors in the room.  There was an inside ledge of a few inches on the inside of the window.  You could see into another room which then led to the outside sidewalk.  There was a heavy-set lady in the room and she was my captor.  I spent most of a day expressing that I should be out that I needed to be out while at the same time I was feeling more and more claustrophobic.  I began to show agitation in my speech and manner and still I tried my best to explain why I needed and deserved to be out.  There was another fellow, thin and bedraggled that was in the back that I centered my attention on then.  I felt desperate and I needed an edge to get out.  I took the other fellow by the shoulders and head and started to beat it into the corners of the ledge, each blow at my full strength.  After a blow or two chunks of head began to blow out to the sides and yet I beat the head harder each time I came down. 

Escaping Lockup

I was being held prisoner.  I was able to escape because I had in my possession a weapon that if pointed at a person would cause their skin to turn red and then almost instantly from there they died.  I was escaping in a station wagon with driver and passenger, second seat held two and then third seat was me and a lady.  I was in the back seat with the weapon and none of the others were with me, they were against me.  It had started in a place that I had been being held but I had obtained the weapon and held hostages in the car. 

We had been going quite some time when the lady that was with me attempted several times to either get away or to speak to the others and tell them what to do to get control.  I had repeatedly hit her to try and control her.  I had kept control for some time but then I was getting tired and I could feel that I was losing control so I used the gun and first shot a lady in the second seat that had tried hard to rebel.  I had them kick her out of the car. 

Later I felt I was losing control again and I shot the fellow that was next to the lady I had first shot.  I watched his face grow read with the energy from the silent weapon and then die.  I bit later I felt I had to kill the lady next to me and the passenger in the front which I did.  I then announced to the driver that it was just he and I. 

It was dark and I could barely see he was trying something by leaning over far into the passenger side so I shot him as well.  The car was heading on to a freeway entrance and it was long so I knew if the foot was off of the gas I could be OK.  The car eventually stopped in some grass and I took off on foot.  I ended up behind a big industrial mill.  There were giant rocks lined up as a wall and I climbed on top of them and jumped from one to another.  There was a trailer on my right side a ways down and I could see a light that came on as I passed. It seemed it was an automatic light but I also figured it either took my picture or it had an alarm.  I continued jumping from rock to rock until I reached the far end and I could see that others were looking for me. 

I could not stay in that location so I jumped down into the mill and had to hide in a hole that had a lot of grinding wheels exposed in it and I knew if it came on I was dead but I had to take the chance.  Eventually I was seen, I gave up and I knew I would be in a state prison which would keep me safer than the people I had to kill that died of this energy weapon and normal people wouldn’t be even close to it. 

Deep Dive

We were in a location where my brother in law went for a deep dive down into the water to rescue a person that had gone down and gotten into trouble.  He had headed down from a concrete area that held two elevators.  There were a bunch of people that rushed to this location so I immediately took control of the situation.  I had asked some people to knock on the closed left shaft door to see if there was an answer and another fellow to make a phone call out from a nearby metal box with a phone.  There was no answer.  We were going to send down another diver but it would not be me.  Another fellow was to show in a bit.

Later we were watching for updates on a TV which only highlighted that this too was a TV show.  I was in a room with a bunch of people. In the front of the room were two TVs, the left TV had sound turned down and a picture of the elevator room.  The sound was up on the right TV.  All of a sudden the left TV showed a brief glimpse of something.  It was as if the elevator door on the left had a gray screen and we started to see images of the fellow who had dived down being help by three other people in a holding room at the end of the shaft and there was an animated discussion.  I yelled at everyone in our room for not turning up the TV on the left as that was most important and went to the front of the room to do so.

Then at some point I was in the back seat of a car along with two other people in the front.  It was as if this story was being read to us as the scene with the people in the elevator shaft was where we ended hearing it.  We had driven into the edge of a town and we all opted at that time to buy the next issue of the series before heading back out to the elevator shaft.  I remember remarking that the creators of the series sure had us hooked.

The mansion and the many rooms

I was younger and living in a huge mansion that was similar to a capital building.  If you were facing the front of the building on each half of the place in the front were two cavernous gathering rooms and around each room were a dozen rooms to take care of the large rooms such as kitchens, restrooms, coat rooms and so on.  Off to the sides and the back of those rooms and indeed in front of them were a myriad of rooms for any purpose you could surmise.  As a young person I was going from floor to floor and around elevators which seemed to be stuck in at every angle imaginable position. There were also stairs and there were small slider halls that led into rooms at an odd angle for which the purpose was not explicit.  I even was chased by staff when I went into the end of one room and found a back wall elevator that opened up and on the other side of the elevator was another door that opened up into a half moon shaped room of gamblers smoking cigars and women sporting large hats and men in loud talk.  The door closed so I waited for another round when it opened and slid into the room where I took a good look before heading out a side door running away from the staff.  I found a room tucked away at the top that had several very nice looking women in half dress and it seemed that I knew them.  The room was a large room with sofas, pillows, vanities and other nice accoutrements for the female persuasion.   Out of each room there were always multiple doors.   One wondered how many rooms were hidden in what way around this large place. 

Neighborhood Threat

There was something incredibly strange and frightening that had happened in our neighborhood. There was a creature or creatures that were capable of extreme violence and were attacking all of us. My house seemed to be a gathering place for the survivors.  We had a large home that was crowded with neighbors, friends of neighbors and anyone else that was caught in our neighborhood earlier this night.

I was coordinating as best I could a response to the threat.  I was separating out those that would be on watch on each side of the room at the same time that we were asking who would go outside to watch from a pickup.  There wasn’t anyone that wanted to go so I knew we needed to draw straws.  I asked my mother to create some straws to draw.  Later she gave me a handful of pencil tips that were all about the same size and far too many of them so wasn’t sure what I could do with them and eventually threw them down to the floor. 

There was still a great deal of argument as we knew that the the people that may go out were in grave danger.  Eventually there were a few that went out. I wasn't going out and I was being yelled at for not being a volunteer. I did however make sure that I had put people on all windows and guarding all entrances and weak points.

Bed time - Uneasy dicussion with my grandfather

Bed time
My wife and I were both in bed but on two separate floors and my wife was talking to me on and on and on.  I tried to put up with it and finally I said, “Shut the heck up!”  At that time she brought up some people up the stairs that wanted to by the house.

Uneasy Discussion with my grandfather
My grandfather Holdren’s head was on top of a chest of drawers talking to me and I did not like what he had to say.  There was also something in my bed that was extra heavy and that was freaking me out. 

The Ski Lodge

I was at a ski resort.  I was pretending to be a cool smart and athletic skier.  I had lift tickets.  They patterned people up randomly and I did not want to go with the lady they had chosen for me so I went back into the lodge.  I argued with them that I had spent thousands and thousands of dollars and that I deserved a refund for the lift and no one including manager would give it to me.  I sat down and made up a song about “You can spend a lot of money but they will just rip you off.” I sat in a chair in the lobby and there was a line of Indian chanters in two lines all the way from the front desk to me and I was getting crowded to the point I got up.  They were playing some sort of game for money.

The cult

I was in a large convention center hotel that was being run by a cult.  We went to the convention center banquet room and each person was asked to take a dose of stuff and when they did you could see it go down there throat in ripples and they would then act strange.  It was a very terrifying moment and I wondered if they were controlling minds.  I went to another room and they were picking out those that had not been there and each was asked to take the goop.  I did not want to do this so when they took a break I went to my room and they followed me to my room.  I got to the room shut and locked the door just in time.  I saw the doorknob being used. 

A little while later they had another person come over and they said that something had gone wrong and opened the room with their own key.  They made theirselves at home since I was staying there. I argued with them but they made it clear they would follow me wherever I went and whatever I did.  I decided I would take off but there were other members of my family there and I wondered what they would be doing.  I went outside the room and I saw bags of what looked like Marijuana.  They had been discussing what was in these bags when they were in my room and it was said that it was a holistic formula of herbs and plants.  I thought no it is not natural because I could watch this stuff ripple down throats.  

They locked me out of the room.  I had already told them that if they did not let me go I would call all the local media and tell them about this.  I did place a call and I asked for someone at KOMO TV Seattle and they said it was a weekend but I asked for someone to take a news tip.  The cult people started walking away. I went to the hospitality people in red smocks and ask them to let me in my room but they said, “No they could not do that.”  I knew they had been told not to. 

Somewhere I had picked up a sword that was a cross between a toy and a light real sword.  It had a broad blade and a hole for your fingers.  The person that I asked to let me in my room and told me no I smacked them with this sword which I knew would sting pretty well.  I asked the next person, they said no and I smacked them with the sword. I did this over and over.  Another man and woman were in a sunken area and there was a big hole with sunken down in the floor like an amphitheater.  The two folks were at the podium and I asked them to let me in my room and the lady said yes but as she walked up I could see he told her no and when she got to me she faked like she slipped and rolled back down to the bottom.  I continued from there asking people to let me in my room and when they said no I would whack them with my sword.  I ran across a Samoan like sturdy built gentleman that said no but he was going to fight so I declined to whack him.  There was a doorway that I whacked up with my sword and broke the top of a wooden door. 

The change

I was in a van somewhere around the Seattle area.  My oldest brother and his first wife from 50 years earlier were in the van along with me.  My brother was using two pieces of equipment both seemed to be phones to call a lady.  They wanted to order drugs but could not say what they meant to say instead hinting at things.  Eventually the lady on the other end of the phone caught on and told took their order.  My sister in law was driving when we left.  I asked my brother if the order was for coke or what and he said weed and named off two colors of weed blue and red.   

Not long after we took off we met up with my parents at a roadside cafe.  There I joined them and went to Eastern Washington State where they lived.  When I got there I could see that something was far off.  My family was not the family I knew.  They were approximations of my family but not the same at all.  I learned I had a younger sister that I assumed was about 14.  I had a younger brother maybe 10.  In my world both were older than  was.  I was shaken to the core.  I could not find anything to grasp to tell me that my world and sanity were ok.  I did eventually ask a teen aged girl who she was and she said that she was a friend of Amber my niece, who in my world was now in her thirties with children.  I recognized her as being a very close friend to Amber's and I found the one little bit of something I could hold on to and I put my head against her and cried as she had been as I had known a fantastic human being and dear friend to my niece.  I told her as much as I was crying. 

After some time of crying I began to look around me and take stock of what I saw.  It was indeed a different world.  So many things technologically were different and I started sharing the differences with the room mostly full of kids.  I pointed at the vinyl record player and told them that in the future you could listen to music on a small electronic that was held in the palm of your hand.  I pointed out the rotary phone and how it too would change many times over the course of their lives.  I started enjoying telling what to the others were fantastic stories of the future.  I pointed at kitchen tools, gadgets, furniture and anything else that had changed and told them the finer details of the changes.

The Madonna bombings

I was living in Eastern Washington State and there were a bunch of bombs going off blowing things up.  It was later known that Madonna had set one of them off.  They picked her up and I asked her who did she work for and she said it was an organization.  I told her that I had contacts that I could get to that could finish the job if needed.  Even though they had blown up a lot there was a metal hatch that a person could go down to rescue some documents. 

The Shrunken Human

I was selling a lady a box of items.  The box was about four feet long and a foot and a half wide.  I put the box down on a table and opened it. I had a dried up human being inside a few magazines

End of the world Taco feed

Everyone in the world was going to die.  We all knew it and had prepared as best we could for it.  My wife and I were at My sister and her husband's house having a large goodbye party.  It was a huge Mexican feed with open face tacos and more.  I stuck one pan of items into the oven and I was cooking up a camera.  I thought I better go back and take the film out but my sister had already done it.

A friendly alien

I was a teenager and had gone to visit some relatives in another city.  They had about five boys in the family and three girls.  I felt like the odd one out.  Most of the kids were sitting around the pool being sarcastic and ragging on each other and it was a lot of fun.  The next day I thanked everyone and told them I had a good time and I was a country boy so I appreciated it.  I vaguely remembered what could have been me kissing another guy.  I remember leaving and we had to make our way down a large icy mountain. It took crampons and gear to make it.  I remember just as I left that what appeared to be the mother of the family said her name was Lisa and she did an unveil that showed she looked like an alien.  Slowly the rest of the family started showing their alien forms also.  They said they needed my cooperation and help
